This school needs to be close down. The reviews are 100 true. This school has poor leadership and the teachers aren’t transparent at all. I asked for a parent teacher meeting and everybody was nonchalant about it. Mrs. Bates is never there or she ignores emails. This school is a mess. I’ll be Happy when we moved. We obviously moved here because it was a B-C school at the time and it dropped to a F in less than 3 years. This school is badddd!! I wouldn’t send an ant here to learn ! Nobody can tell me the 90% teachers aren’t here to wipe away their student loans !!!! I never know what’s going on with my child or learning. The teachers don’t care to talk to you because that’s the way Mrs. Bates has them feeling. She needs to be fired and there needs to be better leadership. Why is this school a F school when our Morgage prices don’t say F!?? Denton isd is trash as well. Move to prosper or Frisco if you can.

This school has always been tough, but it feels like it’s getting worse by the day. Classes are out of control, students don’t respect teachers, and you can feel the burnout everywhere. I’ve already seen several teachers quit, and a lot more are saying they’re not coming back next year, which should be a huge red flag to anyone paying attention. Instead of fixing what’s clearly broken, the district seems more focused on fighting Prosper ISD over tax money, and it makes you wonder for what, because that money is just gonna be wasted and mismanaged by Denton ISD. At some point people are going to stop staying quiet, because this isn’t fair to the teachers who are trying, the students who actually want to learn, or the families who expect better.

Stay away from this school. I’m honestly just counting down the days until the year is over because I won’t be coming back. I’ve seen too many good teachers walk out, and it’s not hard to see why. The administration has no backbone when it comes to discipline, and instead of supporting staff, they turn it back on you and ask if you’re “building relationships.” How are you supposed to do that when you’re trying to start class and getting yelled at, cursed out, and even threatened? It makes no sense that they would rather lose teachers than hold students accountable. Something is seriously off with the leadership here, and until that changes, nothing else will. Honey, if you can't handle it, why make it worse for good teachers!
